'Verse - Sapient Species - Cali'aan

Cali'aan species is the felid-like humanoid species that is on the verge of being an extinct society in the world of Arca. They are primarily Bi-pedal but is able to run on four. They have several racial sub-species living in specific biomes of Arca.
 * Calia-Ilo: Now extinct species of warrior-slaves in an ancient empire of the Cali'aan. They take on the appearance of saber-toothed felid species.
 * Calia-Araca: The earliest species of Cali'aan that went extinct long ago on Arca. They ruled the dry deserts of Aurenia and slaved the Calia-Ilo species. Their culture is similar to Ancient Egyptians; the only difference is that their ruler (or pharaoh) is always of Matriarchy.
 * Calia-Rundi: A fierce and extinct sub-species of Cali'aan. They were rivals to Calia-Aracas. They take on the appearance of Earth's Caracal.
 * Calia-Eos: They are one of two species that was born with natural magic use. Before their disappearance on Arca, their society was rivaled only to the former Elv'i Hegemony. Cali'aan Eosian society mirrors the feudal Japan of Earth, ruled by the Matriarchial bloodline.
 * Calia-Leo: The extinct species of a proud tribal race of equatorial zone of Aurenia. They take on the appearance of Lions of Earth.
 * Calia-Atus: One of the three surviving sub-species of Cali'aan and are most plentiful of the species. The Atusian race, however, is heading towards the danger of extinction by other races. They were being hunted for their natural magic abilities. The rise of Humes had slowly reduced the threat of extinction for the Atusians. Non-magic Humes favor using Atusian mages in the ranks of their armies against Rune Kingdoms.
 * Calia-Lyx: One of the three surviving sub-species of the Cali'aan species. They live up in the mountains of Aurenia. They were the only sub-species that wasn't scarred by millennia of war on Aurenia. They take on the appearance of Earth Lynx.
 * Calia-Illuru: One of the three surviving sub-species of Cali'aans. They are the fewer in numbers and the most territorial of the Cali'aans. The Illuruans take on the appearance of Earth's Serval species.

Behind the Scenes:
In appearance, they take after various Earth feline species. Bast (Baset) from Ancient Egyptian mythology is part of one of the Cali'aan sub-species.
